markfnc Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Well, i bought a 2017 Escape Titanium. Gold, tan leather seats. 30,000 miles. Like it a lot, seats very comfortable. My questions is the antenna sticks up , its not a fin like one that is on my Taurus. Is it ok to run that thru an automatic car wash?

Usually, stationary mast antennas can be unscrewed. If yours can, I would unscrew and remove it. If it can not, then I would not worry about it. Yours looks like the removable type. The attendants at car washes near me remove antennas that can be unscrewed. Most car washes will have their attendants tell people what their particular rules may be. Let us know how you make out and good luck. Edited September 21, 2020 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92merc Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'm able to go through touch-less washes with no issues. I've only taken mine through a touch wash once. It was fine, but I'd rather hand wash if it isn't touch-less. Just my preference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHTally Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I remove mine while they're vacuuming. Probably not necessary, but it can't hurt. One car wash place freaked a bit - "Sir, did you remove the antenna?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
